The only good thing was the size; that, and it was a Nikon ... the reason for my purchase. I understand just about all cameras are made in China, which fact made me wary. But I trusted Nikon quality control. And then: The zoom froze often and the only way to "unfreeze" it was to remove and replace the battery. I had the camera two weeks and it began recording a single photo at least 70 times. The auto-focus worked sometimes. The IT Department at Victoria Falls Hotel in Victoria Falls, South Africa were good enough to examine the camera for me. They said, and I quote, "when you get home remove the memory card and try to download the pictures. You can try to shoot more pictures, but there are no guarantees. Above all, do NOT try to look at what you've taken, or tried to take, or the camera will stop working altogether. When you've removed the memory card, get rid of the camera. It's a piece of junk." I did as advised. Fortunately, I had bought a warranty, over and above the one year manufacturer's warranty. Nikon sent it to Luxtech, their "authorized" repair shop. Luxtech informed me that even though they had found several manufacturing defects, somehow, without explanation, the Nikon guarantee had been "voided" in it's entirety. Luxtech instructed me to "accept" their offer to fix it, or "refuse"... if I chose to have them fix it, it would cost me, out of pocket, nearly $100. If I refused, they demanded I pay to have my camera returned;. At the advice of the warranty people, I neither accepted nor refused their "offer" and requested my camera be returned to me. They refused to do so unless I paid the cost of the return. Fortunately, the warranty company picked up that cost.
What is heartbreaking to me is that since my Kodak Baby Brownie, I have had nothing but Nikons. Nikon meant quality. I had four of them. I was a very loyal Nikon user. Now, given my experience with the COOLPIX, I will never again purchase a Nikon. As far as I'm concerned, they have destroyed their brand. I am deeply disappointed,
This camera is great. We carry it biking and it's small size and light weight and just what we wanted. The pictures are pretty good for a camera this size. It has a WIFI feature that allows us to download pictures straight to a tablet or phone and even to control the camera as a remote. The only negative I'd give this camera is that the WIFI feature won't work unless the batteries are fully charged. That wasn't something obvious to us and took a while to figure out what we were doing wrong.
We haven't used our heavier camera since we bought this one.
